Put your earplugs in for the first statement... it's an eardrum buster.

AOC:
We choose to assert ourselves as a global leader in transitioning to 100% renewable energy.

Biden:
Scaled up across the country right now.

Stossel:
Renewable power is so much better, we're told. Instead of increasing pollution, we get carbon-free power from 
the sun and the wind.

Biden:
I might add, windmills do not cause cancer.

Stossel:
A new documentary series, Juice, Power, Politics, and the Grid, notes that politicians have pushed renewable 
energy for a long time. 

Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the roof of the White House. It's quite intuitive for people to understand 
that there's a lot of power in solar energy, we feel the wind, and the idea that you can get something for 
nothing. People find that enormously appealing.

This is our moment, a comprehensive clean energy bill for our country.

Leaders in California are aiming to generate 50% of their electricity from renewables by 2030.

California might now achieve that, but to get there, they're forcing people to pay much more.

The cost of electricity in California has increased three times faster than the rest of the U.S.

People in Washington now pay an average 11 cents per kilowatt hour. In Oregon, they pay 13 cents.

IN CALIFORNIA, THOUGH, ALMOST 30 CENTS.

Do they at least get reliable energy for that? No, there's a problem with wind turbines and solar power.

They don't work when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining.

Blackouts happened over the weekend with little notice.

California learned that renewable power isn't reliable.

Two million people now plunged into darkness across California.

Even the governor admitted.

"We failed to predict and plan." - Gov. Newsome

A few years later, California only avoided another blackout but by pressuring people to cut their power use. 

Keep doing what you've done. One or two more nights of this and we will turn the page.

Will they? So far, their biggest impact is to make things cost more.

[California has an immigrant problem, and now, they're trying to get rid of them, the ONLY way they can... 
money]

California will require all new homes to have solar power.

It's the reason California has the most expensive housing in America. The average house now costs almost 
$800,000. If you can afford that, you get government money for generating solar power. But the handout mostly 
goes to rich people. And it's inefficient.

As their solar panels produce power during the day when the sun is up, they're able to sell the excess power 
that they produce into the grid exactly when the grid doesn't need it. The grid is then inundated with solar 
power and can't use it all. Nonetheless, they get paid a very high price for that power, and then when the 
grid actually does need the power and they aren't producing solar and nobody's producing solar, then they get 
to buy their power back at a reduced rate.

Nice for homeowners, but of course, poor people who pay rent...

Those people are paying for the rich people to have a highly subsidized solar system.

I put solar panels on my house, partly because of a tax credit. But I won't delude myself into thinking that 
solar or wind power are especially green. Solar panels and wind turbines impose environmental costs, too. 

Just to produce one turbine, we have to extract 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete, and 45 tons of 
non-renewable plastic. Then we've got to transport that and burn fuel, getting it all carried across the 
world and put up. And none of these things that go into a turbine are renewable, they're going to eventually 
wear out.

Now most shut down in just 10 years to do maintenance that gives the energy company another tax credit. The 
maintenance costs almost as much as a new turbine, but it's worth it to companies because the renewable 
movement's driven mostly by government handouts.

The Biden administration announced today an $11 billion subsidy to bring clean energy into rural communities. 

Of course, free government money puts wind and solar in inappropriate places. Even with our snowy, dark 
winters, Minnesota ranks 11th in the country for solar power.

Because taxpayers fund it.

The state's about to give me a whole bunch of subsidies to build wind and solar in Minnesota. To build solar 
in Minnesota. Scenic, sunny Minnesota.

How well do solar panels work in snow?

Not well. The Juice series highlights the stupidity of subsidizing energy that just feels green. It won't 
measurably affect climate change. When solar and wind become more efficient, then they'll be cheaper and 
people will adopt them on our own. Politicians should just stop their destructive meddling.

We will eliminate in the state of California the sales of internal combustion engines.
